I am running Kubuntu 20.04 with Kate editor pre-installed through Discover software center. Recently I've noticed, that the version of Kate I have is not the latest version available. Latest available version of Kate editor in Discover software center is version **19.12.3** The latest available version on kate-editor.org is kate-**22.12.2** Tried running
apt update && apt upgrade
This did not upgrade my Kate to the newest version, and I think I know, why:
apt info kate
Returns "Version: 4:**19.12.3**-0ubuntu1" (the same outdated version I already have installed) I suspect that this may be connected to the fact I am using an LTS version of Kubuntu, but I am not sure about that. My question is: can I upgrade Kate editor to the latest available version using
or
-get
? This feels like a trivial task, but I can't wrap my head around it
